tales from the wayside

I started for telling short stories - then about the home remodel (not happening) - now ... just random outtakes and foolish assumptions.

My new toy


It’s been a while since I’ve checked in, but I want to assure you I have spent the time wisely. Last Wednesday, I traded in the 14 year-old pickup I’d kept running for more than a decade and bought myself a monster.

We’re still working to get our house in a sellable condition, and with the equity from that sale, we want to get a fifth-wheel travel trailer. To that end, we need something that can haul a fifth-wheel, thus the monster.

I only have the one picture of it so far, but for those of you who are or who know motor-heads, it’s a 2004 Dodge Ram Mega-cab diesel with an 8 foot bed.

It’s a blast to drive and a stone cold terror to park.

Found this picture



I found this picture on line. This was taken near Tucson, about 100 Miles (160K) from my house. This is the fourth or fifth time in 29 years I've seen snow in the desert like this.


It's been soooooooo nice lately, I'm sorry that the days are warming up again and will consistently be in the mid 60s.

Been a little crazy lately trying to get the house fixed up to sell, I'll be a little more verbose in a day or two or three or so....
